Cowork Chrome Extension Automates Personal Data Removal from Data Brokers
Cowork (link) is a Chrome extension that uses your Gmail account to automate data removal from major data brokers. A Reddit user on r/ClaudeAI shared their experience: they connected the extension to Gmail, filled all opt-out forms, wrote the required emails, and verified each removal — all without manual intervention. Within hours, they started receiving removal confirmation emails from multiple providers.
Unlike paid services like Incogni that require subscriptions and have upsells, Cowork is free and operates entirely client-side. The process is straightforward:
- Install the Cowork Chrome extension.
- Connect your Gmail account.
- Let it automatically fill forms, compose emails, and verify removals.
The user reported that the process completed before the weekend, and by the start of the next week they had received multiple removal notifications. This is a practical, no-cost alternative to subscription-based data removal services.
